GLASS BUTTON / GLASS,COPPER ARTIFACTS

[hmmm]

hay all
went to a beach in front of a old 1800's home stead that was built on a old Indian village. we dug lots of stuff , any idea about the face button, there is a second one with the center busted out, both are set in a copper base. We found what look like lead arrowheads, 1 is to the left of the bigger lead peice.
. also there was a piece of lead that had 2 tiny brass nails.

Re: GLASS BUTTON

maybe a seal of some sort? Either way it is one of the coolest things I've seen on here all week. Is there a shank on it, or not?

Re: GLASS BUTTON

No we never found a shank, a seal is a interisting thought.
further down the beach we found some copper sheathing and we found a pad loch on the surface with bb on it. .

I've been looking...

And am still looking...

It's the classic "Man On The Moon" face...

I'm not even sure it's a button... it may have been part of almost anything from jewelry to a vintage sun catcher.

Re: GLASS BUTTON

thanks for the help MONTANA JIM .
the site behind the beach was homesteaded by a Russian prospector in 1920 and his daughter still lives there now. in 1860 a white homesteader/trader lived on the site, before that is was a Indian village.
the face came from about 4 inches down, the layer appeared to be a beach midden with burnt gravel and shells mixed in, the ground is quite hard, seems cemented .. the lead came from the same layer. excited to go back.
a few years ago we found this old copper bracelet sticking out of some rocks near the beach.

Are the last two copper looking objects in the original set of pics bullets? They look like fmp rifle bullets, but can't tell from picture. Monty

Glass face reminds me of man in the moon for some reason.

The pins make me wounder what is embedded in the lead.

I believe Jim is correct. Here's a similar one.

Monty - those are little brass pins, like the kind on the back of small items... the kind you use a "frog" as a backer.

OK, couldn't tell from the picture. Never Mind! Monty

THANKS TONY
that is so cool, i was told they could be english in origin, the 1860 homesteader was english, he also had a trading post.
monty, those are nails or small brass pins in the lead, there is some holes for 3 more.
